Career Progression: Getting Ready for the Cloud with Hyper-V
The “cloud” is simply the next level of virtualization. For those that do not have virtualization experience you will learn the fundamentals of Hyper-V while giving you a jump start to your virtualization or cloud career. But, we are not staying there long. We will then dive deep into the Microsoft hypervisor-based server virtualization technology. Professional Hyper-V and VMware administrators will learn how their existing virtualization knowledge can be leveraged to quickly move to the next layer of virtualization, private cloud. So have your cup of caffeine and buckle up to take a very fast and eventful ride from where you are now, to where you need to be to advance your career!

Knowledge of private clouds is an absolute must for anyone working in IT going forward. This session will get you started on your journey to the cloud success!
From Virtualization to Private Cloud with VMM 2012
System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) 2012, a management solution for the virtualized datacenter, enables a system administrator to manage virtualization hosts, networking, and storage resources. With VMM 2012 you can optimize your existing investments by managing multi-hypervisor environments such as Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V, Citrix XenServer, and VMware vSphere 4.1 in a single pane of glass.

We will see how you can pool and dynamically allocate virtualized datacenter resources enabling self-service infrastructure experience for your business, with flexible role-based delegation and access control. You'll walk away from the session with a clear understanding of how this versatile tool can help you manage you virtual environment and private cloud. System Center skills are not going to be optional in the IT department of the future, now is the time to start learning about them!
